The irrepressible Betty White turns this month and NBC is celebrating with a star-studded birthday special. But White herself thinks it’s all kind of silly.

“Don’t give me any credit,” she told reporters at TV’s winter press tour. “I didn’t do anything to get to be 90. It just happened. I didn’t accomplish anything. It just came up on me.”

Still, Hollywood loves a good party and you can’t help but be awestruck by a woman who is busier than ever with a cable sitcom (“Hot in Cleveland”), movie roles, a book and an upcoming hidden-camera show on NBC called “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers.”

The special bash, to air Jan. 16 — a day before White’s actual birthday — will feature appearances by, among others, Ellen DeGeneres, Morgan Freeman, Tina Fey, Ray Romano, Seth Meyers and Tracy Morgan.
Asked by a journalist if she plans to mark the milestone birthday by running a 10K, or something of the sort, White answered no.
